Perfect

• extremely fast

Kingston has stood for quality for me for years.
This was the reason for me to choose Kingston again for external memory.

The only point could be that the USB cable could be a bit more flexible. Not a problem for me, but for someone who always takes it with him in the laptop bag it could be a bit difficult (a lot of bending and kinking with the risk of breaking the cable?).

I have a Linux system, so I don't need backup software. This could be a reason for people who work on other systems to choose another brand. Kingston is known for its compatibility, so it will be recognized by any operating system.
In short: a conscious choice for value for money

My 2017 iMac has never started up this fast.

Awesome. My iMac now boots in less than 40 seconds and once in the screen everything goes super fast. Open different applications without any problems, browse the internet etc.
